Might & Magic II (C64)

Back in 1988 I left Origin Systems to co-found a new game company named Inside Out Software. Our first projects were ports and we slowly started getting into original games. Might & Magic II was our first port (IBM, C64, Amiga).

I worked on the port of Might & Magic II from the Apple II (128K, 16-color double-res) to the Commodore 64 (64K, 4-color mixed-mode). It was a pretty interesting experience and I learned a lot from it. The full story is on ROME.RO.

The credits screen with a David Hammond listed at the top. As you may find with almost all team credit screens they are very political. I actually did almost all the work on this game but was moved to Tower Toppler to begin that port and have David clean up the rest of the C64 port I had done.

I left before the end of the port and they put his name above mine. Nice, but typical. See Gauntlet:Seven Sorrows credits for a rerun of this horseshit.
